I was sleeping but I was awake in the dream realm as if I were Luna or something and I was watching over dreams. Anyways, I found myself in a very weird dream for sure and I saw the student six have really strange things going on. This might be weird, but I've seen worse before. Since they were all here, I decided to appear to them as the Spirit of Harmony. I was able to get into contact with it even though it was very difficult. It's dying and I don't have much time left, so I have to rely on the students here to get my full power back. Okay, time to talk like the Tree. I said "Good. You have all answered my summons." Silverstream was confused and asked "Wait. You mean this isn't my dream?" More or less. Yona said "Friends must be dreaming together." You would be correct. Gallus said "More like a nightmare." Having a door close on you with that much space in there is not that bad. I've seen a lot worse than that. Sandbar said "I know, right? How do I pick just one? They all look so good!" That's what you call a bad dream? How pathetic. Whatever. Smolder asked annoyed "That's your version of a bad dream?" Apparently so. I don't know why, but that's just what it is. Ocellus asked "But why did you bring us here, Prince Zachary?" I said "I am not Zachary that you are speaking of. I'm merely the messenger. You all must hurry. The Tree of Harmony needs you."

I put my paw down and different colors went to the students making them all disappear in an instant and I left the dream. The next morning, I was at the School of Friendship just looking around making sure nothing fishy is going on. I walked over to where Spike was and saw him just cleaning the floor. Suddenly, Twilight appeared to the both of us and said "Spike! I have terrible news!" I said "What is it this time Twilight?" Spike asked "What's wrong? Is the Crystal Empire under attack again?" I highly doubt that. Sombra was disintegrated, and if he did come back, we could easily defeat him again. Twilight said "What? No! I only have 20 highlighters and they're ALL ORANGE! How will everycreature COLOR CODE THEIR NOTES?!" I said "That's what you're worried about? My, oh my. I thought it was something actually serious, but nope. Just overreacting once again. Never change." Twilight growled at me and I ignored her. I could care less about what she thought about that right now. I have more important things to do. Spike said "I'm pretty sure you're the only one that does that." She does. I don't do that, and nor does anyone else. I find it a waste of time these days because I don't need to take notes anymore. So, eh. Not my problem. Twilight said "Still, 20 isn't enough for the new school year!" When will she finally calm down? It's getting annoying at this point. Spike said "We got plenty of time to order more. The friendship students won't be back until… *doors open* uh, now?" This will be interesting.

Twilight said "Well, this is a surprise." Not for me. You'll see why in a second. "Why are you all here so early?" They have a reason why. "Did I send out the wrong back to school date?" No, Twilight. You did not. So stop worrying for the love of Celestia please. Smolder said "Oh, we're not here for school." Told ya so. Sandbar said "Yeah, we're back cause the Tree of Harmony called us here." Both Twilight and Spike stared for a second before exchanging worried expressions. Gallus siad "Don't feel bad it didn't reach out to you. We kinda have a pretty special connection with it after last year." Don't get too cocky kid. Twilight said "The Tree couldn't have called you." I beg to differ on that one. "It's gone. Sombra destroyed it!" Every creature gasped in horror and Spike said "Maybe next time, ease in with those truth bombs." Good point. I said "I will take over from here." I walked up to the students and spread out my eagle wings. "Thanks for coming here. I have an important mission for you all." Ocellus asked "What is that?" I said "You see here, my scepter that I'm holding right now was an Element of Harmony and wielded the magic of all seven right in this very artifact. Unfortunately, when Sombra destroyed the Tree, that magic disappeared with it as well and I lost touch with the Tree."

"Because of that, a quarter of my scepter has turned gray and that is considered very dangerous to Equestria as any villain could probably come in here with free rein and not be stopped by the Elements. However, I was able to finally get into contact with the Tree again and I asked it to call you all here. I need you guys to revive the Tree of Harmony. I don't care how you do it, but just have it be revived so that my scepter can be restored to full power and I can defend Equestria once more. I'm counting on you guys to do it. You're my last hope before that magic is gone for good. Think you guys can do that?" Sandbar said "We won't let you down! Right guys?" The rest of them nodded and I said "Good. Now go before it's too late and have Equestria fall to darkness." They all saluted and took off to the underground cave below the Castle of the Two Sisters. "I hope they can do it. They're my last hope. Otherwise, my power will be gone forever and Equestria could fall to any villain at any time! I can't allow that!" Twilight came over and said "I'm sure it will be fine." I looked at her and said "You can't be sure of that! You never know. There could be a villain plotting their revenge right now as we speak of it!" Twilight said "I doubt that's the case." I said "That doesn't mean anything! Anything can happen any time. You know what? I'm not having this conversation anymore. I'm going somewhere else." Before Twilight could say anything, I was already gone.

I was walking around when I heard a voice in my head. "Twilight not listening to you again? How disgraceful. She really should listen more often." Ugh, you again? I said quietly "What do you want now, evil version of myself?" Yeah, it was him talking this time. I'll give you a brief description of what he looks like. His teeth are more sharp than mine, so sharp that they can cut through metal. His pupils have turned to dragon slits and has purple mist coming out of his eyes all the time. His wings turned into dragon wings like if he was a vampire or something. His claws were so sharp that they were sharper than a steak knife, double edged sword, and a spear combined. Yeah, they were that powerful. He had a chestplate that was similar to mine, but slightly different. Oh right. I forgot to tell you. After me and my friends defeated Sombra, I was gifted a chestplate that had an obsidian texture and had a red diamond shaped jewel on it. It was basically like Celestia's and Sombra's chestplate combined. The jewel coming from Celestia's chestplate, and the design of it coming from Sombra's, so yeah. Anyway, the evil version of myself had a chestplate that was similar to mine. Instead of having an obsidian texture on it, it was full black as if it was like death itself. Also, instead of a red diamond shaped jewel being there, there was a red eye that looked straight at you which was very creepy.

His crown was a lot bigger than mine and was similar to Sombra's. Finally, his scepter that is basically mine, was turned into a red horn that was curved and looked exactly like Sombra's. So, yeah this dude is pretty terrifying. "Yeah, you should be scared of me. No one could ever possibly defeat me." Pfft, yeah right. "You obviously have a false sense of hope in you boy." I rolled my eyes and said "What is it you even want this time?" The evil version of myself who I am now going to call Nightmare King gave a grin and said "Why, that's actually an interesting name. Nightmare King. That fits me. You pathetic creatures shall all die to the fury of death and my reign of terror shall last forever!" I growled and said "Stop stalling, Nightmare! Tell me what it is you want!" Nightmare King simply smiled and said "Fine. I'll tell you. Do you really think that Twilight will ever listen to what you have to say?" I said "Of course. I'm not stupid okay?" "I never said you were stupid. I'm just pointing out the obvious." How is that obvious? "Think about it. How many times have you told the truth to Twilight and she has ignored you?" Far too many as I can say, but that's not her fault. "I'm not so sure about that. Maybe she's just too prideful to admit she's wrong." Twilight is NEVER prideful. "Everyone gets prideful. Saying that someone doesn't get prideful is like saying that humans don't need water to survive." I guess that's a fair point.

"Since you don't seem convinced, what about when she gets annoyed at you for simply being honest?" Sometimes, you just need to keep your mouth shut and not say anything. "Or maybe they are just too offended. You know how our kind was. Our generation was always so sensitive to everything and no one could say anything about anything without someone getting offended. Maybe if millennials hadn't poisoned gen zers with their crap, we wouldn't be having this issue." He does have a very good point, but he's the darkness. He's trying to take the truth and twist it to his own purposes. "Now why would I do that?" Because you are under the curse of sin and are trying to twist everything to your own purposes. You are basically doing everything that Satan does all the time and DON'T TRY TO DENY IT! "I never thought of it like that. How odd." You big liar! I'm not even going to try and reason with you. All I know is you will burn in the Lake of Fire one day along with Satan and the rest of his demons and followers. "Like that will ever happen." Don't underestimate God's power. His wrath will always be far more powerful than yours will ever be. "We'll see about that." Whatever. I'm done having this conversation. "You can't hide from me forever. Equestria will burn one day and I shall rule it with my reign of terror." That will never happen. "You'll see." Whatever. Goodbye.

I continued walking and began to think in my mind. Does Twilight really listen to me when I tell the truth or is it considered a joke to her? Of course she listens. Why am I even thinking about this? It's stupid for me to even be thinking about this. I mean, Twilight doesn't always listen to me, but it's not her fault. I've watched the entire series, so I know what happens, but Twilight is all experiencing it for the first time, so she has no previous knowledge of it. "Well, she could use common sense. Honestly, the creators of this show make the characters so dumb as if they have no logic whatsoever." It's a cartoon made for 7 year old girls! It's not supposed to be realistic. "Yes, but it's demonstrating to kids that not having logic is okay and it will help you get through life even though that is not the case at all. Every cartoon needs to have it's realistic aspects." I guess that's a fair point. "How the creators made the timeline wasn't exactly very realistic. I mean, really? How can all those events happen 1,000 years ago? It doesn't make sense to me." He does have a point.

I believe that how the creators made the timeline isn't exactly very realistic because every major event theoretically all happened at the same time. It doesn't exactly make sense for Discord to be turned to stone at the same time Luna was banished to the moon. You could argue that it only happened a few weeks later, but something crazy like that would take a lot longer than a few weeks to recover from. That's why I determine each villain's banishment sentence by which season they returned. For example, Nightmare Moon returned after 1,000 years, Discord after 2,000, Sombra after 3,000, and Tirek after 4,000. Obviously, you still have the problem of Chrysalis and Cozy Glow. Well, Cozy Glow is too young to be placed on this timeline, so I won't include her and I believe it would be appropriate to place Chrysalis at the 2,500 year mark. Think about it. She made a return after Discord was returned to stone, but before Sombra reappeared with the Crystal Empire, so it would make sense to put her in between. 2,500 is in between 2,000 and 3,000, so yeah. "Obviously, you make a great argument, but unfortunately, the creators' brains didn't register that with their massive ego personalities and went with their foolish ideas anyways."

HEY! Don't criticize the creators like that! They put a lot of work into this show! "Come on man, you know in the back of your mind that the creators should have done certain things in this show better than how they turned out." Well, yeah. I agree that certain things in the show should have been made better than how it turned out, but I only mean it as constructive criticism, not tearing the creators down like how Nightmare is doing. "I'm not tearing down the creators. I'm only giving the honest truth. And even I was tearing them down, they deserve it anyway." No they don't! Why would you even think that? "Because I despise millennials! They were the ones that caused our generation to become corrupt just like them!" Uh, may I remind you that your older siblings were millennials as well and you loved them very much. "Yeah, only two of them. My oldest sister didn't exactly seem to care about me or the rest of my family at any time in her life. She's the perfect representation of how the millennial generation acts." Well, you do have a point. I'm not exactly the biggest fan of the millennial generation, but not every single one from that generation is bad. I've known millennials that were nice and not a total scumbag.

"Does that not include your family?" Yes, actually it does. I have made many friends who were millennials. "Yes, but they could be hiding their true intent by pretending to be your friend." That could be true since I don't know their true intentions in their hearts, but you can't make blanket statements about a certain group of people by throwing them all under the bus. "Are you calling me RACIST?!" I am not. If you had a brain, you would know this has nothing to do with racism. It is partiality, but it is not racism. Also, why are you getting pressed about something so stupid as this? I thought you hated people getting offended over the dumbest things. "I DO HATE THAT AND I HAVE A BRAIN YOU KNOW! I'LL BE SMARTER THAN YOU'RE EVER BE!" Hmm, sounds like someone is getting upset like a toddler who didn't get his candy at the grocery store. "SHUT UP!" Oh, and what are you going to do about it? Nightmare King became furious and slammed me into the wall. "DON'T YOU EVER UNDERESTIMATE MY POWER LIKE THAT! I CAN END YOU RIGHT NOW!" You wouldn't dare do that. Twilight would become furious at you for doing that. "Oh, I think I want to and can do that. Also, Twilight won't see me doing it. I'm completely invisible to her. All she'll see is you trying to commit suicide."

Wh-what do you mean? You stick out like a sore thumb! "Oh my dear Zachary, you truly are so naïve. I am part of you. Only you can see me because I have not been released into the open world yet. Therefore, I will be completely invisible to the rest of ponykind and other creatures. So, every time you try to confront me, you'll be seen as a fool in front of the others." I guess I didn't think of it like that. Well, I can tell Twilight about it! "And what will she do? Try to defeat me? Tell Celestia or Luna? You clearly don't know how these things work. And what happens when you do tell her? Will she believe you or ignore the truth like she always has?" She won't this time! "What makes this time any different from the Pony of Shadows?" Because Twilight will be able to notice the signs and be extremely worried about me! "Yes, but Twilight knew the signs with Stygian, yet didn't even bother doing anything about it until it was too late." Your point exactly? "The point is she let her idol cloud her judgement and failed to use common sense and logic simply because she is a massive fan of one of the most blind ponies in all of Equestria."

You only run on logic do you? "Afraid so buddy. Logic is how the world is supposed to operate." Not everything in the world will operate to logic. Things don't just go and bow down to logic promising not to do their own thing simply because "it conflicts with logic." "Well, I will make sure that EVERYTHING will operate on logic and nothing else!" And what exactly is your plan? "I will conquer Equestria and make sure everyone bows to my will so everything can operate based on how I WANT it to operate!" That's ridiculous. "Also, I have a score to settle with certain creatures." Don't you even DARE HARM ANY OF MY SUBJECTS! "Oh, I wouldn't dream of it. No, I'm going to make Twilight, and every millennial that has ever crossed the Earth PAY for their foolishness!" But what have millennials done to you? Most of them don't even know you. "They turned the United States into a dumpster fire and poisoned the gen-zers into following their footsteps. They are just as bad if not worse than the Baby Boomer generation!" Really? My father's generation? Why are you even comparing them to the millennials? "Because they were the ones that turned the United States into what it has become today! You remember that your father specifically said that his generation was going to take over the government, the media, and academia."

"And as you could tell, they were able to succeed. Because of that, they spread their poison from the Gen Xers to the millennials, down to the gen zers. This is why the media is so biased these days and blasts Republicans who stand in their way because they are big liberals, but don't report actual news. You've seen how the media constantly blasted Trump around, don't you?" Yeah, I did, and it was annoying. They basically tried to make him look bad. "Exactly! That's part of the liberals' agenda! Even Democrats from the 1950's and 60's would shame them for how childish and foolish they act nowadays. Yet, when it comes to Biden and what he has done, the media covers it up and makes him look like the good guy. A lot of people think Biden is a great guy, but they are too young to understand the things he really has done. This is also why journalism has become corrupt as well. Journalists always say they want to go into journalism so they can "make a difference" or "change the world" or some bullcrap like that. The system has become so corrupt that people don't want to report the facts anymore. They just want to report their own opinion which is sickening and foolish."

Yeah, most of this stuff he did say is all true and I know there are people out there that will try to attack me and be all like "You don't know what you are talking about," "You are just being a hater," you know, stuff like that. But, I'm telling you right now, my father knew about all of this and he has experience with it, so I know that whenever he says that the media is corrupt, I believe him because it does make sense logically. Some might call me biased because I'm believing everything my father says, but he knows this stuff, so there's no point in questioning it. Others might say that I have no evidence for this or try to play Devil's advocate, but they are just being fed what the media tells them to believe. "Exactly. Even when news companies such as The Epoch Times actually tries to report the facts, they get censored by all social media platforms. You know why? Because the mainstream media and the liberals don't want their secrets exposed. They want to hide their true intent away from others and try to build a fake public image to make themselves feel good, but be something completely different inside the heart. When someone tries to expose them, they immediately attack them and try to guilt trip them so they can back off and drop the accusation. But anyone who buys that is a fool." I can see why.

"They'll see one day what their actions will lead to. They don't think there will be any consequences for their foolish behavior whatsoever. They'll find out that will NOT be the case later on down the road. And I'll make sure they'll pay all right! Starting with the Baby Boomer generation!" Uh, you do realize that most of the people born in that generation are dead now right? It's the early 2030's for crying out loud. "Oh right. Well, I guess then, I can start with the millennials and make sure they WILL DIE!" I understand your frustration towards the millennial generation, but that's not the right thing to do. "ARE YOU DEFENDING THEM?!" What? OF COURSE NOT! I'm saying would it make you look any better for you to get revenge on millennials than it would be for them to do this crap to begin with? "I could CARE LESS if I looked any better than them! They are a corrupt generation and they SHALL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES FOR THEIR FOOLISH BEHAVIOR!" And why is this such a concern to you? I mean, yeah, it was annoying, but I live here now, so it doesn't bother me. "THEY WERE THE REASON WHY I COULDN'T LIVE IN SOCIETY ANYMORE!" How so?

"BECAUSE NO ONE COULD TALK ABOUT SQUAT WITHOUT HAVING TO GET INTO A POLITICAL DISCUSSION! IT WAS INFRATING, SICKENING, AND DOWNRIGHT FOOLISH! AND NOW THEY SHALL PAY FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE!" You better not do anything too crazy. "I can do whatever I want whenever I want. Once I have taken over Equestria, I shall go to Earth and overthrow the U.S. government and EXECUTE ALL THE MILLENNIALS WITH A GUILLOTINE!" I beg your PARDON?! YOU WILL NOT DO THAT! I understand that they are annoying, but that GIVES YOU NO RIGHT TO EXECUTE PEOPLE LIKE THAT! "Oh, I believe it does. They were the cause of our generation becoming so corrupt as if WE WERE CONSIDERED PUPPETS TO THEM!" And what are you going to do about it? "Oh, you'll see alright. Once I get control of you, I will TAKE OVER THIS WORLD AND DESTROY ANYONE THAT STANDS IN MY WAY!" You won't get control of me! I'll make sure of it! "We'll see about that. Also, you can't stop me. The Elements of Harmony are gone and without the other six, yours won't work!" NO! I didn't think of it like that! "I'll be waiting soon, my dear Zachary. Ha ha ha. HA HA HA HA HA!" Nightmare King disappeared and I began to panic.

What if the student six wouldn't be able to successfully save the Tree? No. That's preposterous! I know they can do it. But, then again, they are young and can make mistakes very easily. But they're my last hope! I need the Tree to be revived so my power can return and I can defend Equestria. My title is useless without the Tree's power! I mean, I still have the friendship part of the power, but I can't easily access it unlike with the Tree's magic. I started walking again and went back to my office. I opened the door and closed it, sighing. It's been a long time since I was here. I really don't seem to have anything to do, so I pulled out my list and teleported over royal paperwork that I have to get done. Which yes, includes tax law. I had done so well the last time that Celestia sent me some more for me to complete. Thanks Celestia for sending me more boring tax law. I appreciate it. I'm being sarcastic for you uneducated people. However, I will help out a fellow royal when the time comes. I heard a knock on the door and I yelled "Door's open." The door opened and it was Twilight. What is it exactly this time? I looked at the scroll when Twilight said "There you are. I've been looking all over for you." That's nice. I could care less.

I said "Uh huh." and continued writing tax law. Twilight wasn't having any of it though and pushed the scroll down so I could actually try and "pay attention." Twilight said "Are you even listening to me?" I sighed and said "What is it you want Twilight? I'm busy writing tax law right now. I don't have time to do whatever it is you want me to do." Twilight seemed to be offended by that and said "I want to know what happened to the creature that I cared about most!" I raised a brow and said "What do you mean? Everything's just fine. I don't know what you're talking about." Twilight said "No it's not! You were just panicking not that long ago and now you don't seem to care about anything." I said "I'm just busy. That's all." Twilight slammed her hooves in front of me and said "Something is wrong! Tell me what it is. Please." I started to get angry and slammed my paws down in front of her causing her to flinch a bit. I said "Fine! The stress has been getting to me! I'm not even sure if my power will be able to return!" Twilight said "Really? That again? Zach, everything will be fine. There's nothing to worry about." I said "Yes there is! The Tree is gone and villains could take over Equestria easily!"

Twilight said "Why are you worried about that? You know we can defeat villains still." I said "How? The Elements of Harmony are gone and without the other six, my Element can't function!" Twilight said "I guess that's a good point, but what is your point?" I said "My point is I can no longer defend Equestria like I was supposed to!" Twilight said "And what's that supposed to mean?" I said "My title will be rendered useless!" There was a few moments of silence before Twilight asked "This is how you feel? You believe that your title will no longer mean anything to you?" I said "Yes! If the Tree's magic is gone, then my title no longer means anything. What will that make me? I'll be useless without it." Twilight came up to me and said "Zach. You are not useless. You have impacted Equestria more than you may think. Just because you might not have the Tree's magic anymore doesn't mean you are completely useless." I thought for a moment before saying "I'm not so sure if I can believe that." Twilight said "Why not?! You know, you shouldn't let bad things get to your head." I grew angrier and said "That's how I operate! As long as I live, I will always be broken and never be considered redeemable." I began walking away when Twilight said "You could if you just tried instead of giving up so easily!" I turned around and said "I did try, Twilight. And that brought me nowhere! Any sort of optimism that I had in me died years ago and I was a fool for believing otherwise. It's just better that you leave my problems to myself and not even bother. I'm not even worth the pity."

I turned around and began walking away. Twilight tried calling out to me, but I ignored her and shut the door anyway. I sighed and teleported outside. Why am I so broken? Ugh! I feel so angry right now! I looked around and saw some trees near the school. I flew up and blasted the trees with my magic as hard as I could before stopping after getting tired. I decided to fly up higher and just go out flying so I could clear my head. What will become of me if the Tree's magic finally disappears for good? Who will I be? Who am I? Will Equestria ever be the same? Will I even be considered USEFUL?! *sighs* I just don't know. I probably shouldn't have been that mean to Twilight, but I'm really worried about what is going to happen in the future if the students don't succeed. I continued flying and I just stared down at the ground seeing if anything interesting was happening which there really wasn't. And even if there was, it just made me feel worse. I heard a different set of wings next to me and it was Twilight again. Dang, this mare doesn't like giving up does she? Twilight said "I'm not giving up on you. I don't care what you say. You are obviously broken and you need my help." I'm not going to argue with that. I sighed and said "I'm sorry Twilight. I shouldn't have acted that way."

Twilight smiled and said "Thanks, Zach. But why were you so upset in the first place?" I said "I'm just scared of what will come if the Tree doesn't resurrect itself and give me my power back." Twilight said "Oh Zach. You shouldn't be scared of what's to come. I admit you are right about one thing. Villains could potentially come back now that the Elements are gone. But they still won't be able to succeed in overtaking Equestria. You know why?" Uh, because they are massive scumbags and don't use their brains? "Not quite, but that's a good point too. No, it's because of our friendship between us and the rest of our friends. We might fall down, but we'll be able to get back up again. Friendship will have bumps in the road, but it can never ever be broken. And even if things do go wrong and you end up losing your power forever, you'll still have our friends and me. I'll never leave your side and I'll always be here for you when you need me." I guess I hadn't thought of it like that. "Sometimes, that thick brain of yours doesn't realize the simplest of things." She does have a point. I said "Thanks Twilight. I guess I should have realized that." Twilight said "It's okay. We all mess up sometimes, but what's important is that we forgive and forget." She is right.

"No matter what comes our way, we'll be there for one another and come out stronger than before." Man, she really does know how to give a motivational speech. I wonder how she does that. "A magician does not reveal her secrets." Of course. Both of us laughed a little bit before flying for a little bit more. After a little bit, we flew back down to the school and walked to the entrance. Suddenly, I felt the ground shake and was lifted into the air and I saw red magic being blasted into the air going towards the Everfree Forest. My eyes were white and my crown glowed as well. Once that was done, I descended back to the ground and said to Twilight "We need to go to the forest now!" Twilight nodded and we both headed over there. I heard a voice in my head that said "How did that happen?" I appeared before the student six as the Spirit of Harmony and said "Because of you, the spirit of the Treehouse would have perished without your selfless deeds and caring. Whenever you seek solace, come here. Your friendship and all friendships in future generations will always be safe inside these walls." I smiled and disappeared which made the door to the treehouse open. We finally appeared to the students and Twilight said "I felt a burst of magic all the way over at the School! Is everycreature okay?" It appears so.

Silverstream said "A little confused, but definitely okay." I can tell. Twilight and Spike's eyes went wide and looked at the new tree that appeared. Twilight asked "Where did this come from?" I think I may know. Smolder said "We were kinda gonna ask you the same thing." Figures. Spike said "It looks like part of the Tree of Harmony." I said "That's because it is." Everyone said "What?!" and I raised a paw to quiet them. I said "Congratulations, you guys. You have achieved what I have asked for. Because of you, the Tree's magic finally returned to my scepter and I have been restored to full power. Equestria is safe once more because of your friendship. I can't thank you enough." They all smiled and Twilight said "The Tree has always been good at surprises." Pretty much. "When Starswirl planted the Tree's seed, he didn't even know what it would grow into." Well, it's because he and the other Pillars weren't around to see the Tree become fully grown. "I guess the Tree is still alive." Very much alive and well too. "Changing and adapting to whatever Equestria needs." Yep. Gallus asked "A cool place to hang out?" Yeah, I could agree with that statement, but there's more to it.

Twilight said "Something tells me this is more than that. It seems the Elements of Harmony may still be with us in their own way." That's a good thing. Spike sighed in relief and said "That's actually really reassuring." Tell me about it. Silverstream asked "But why did the Tree need our help to become something new?" Hmm. An interesting question. I said "I believe that the Tree selected you guys because it's preparing for the next generation and since your friendship is so powerful between one another is so powerful, the Tree believed all of you were good candidates which it obviously made the right choice." Everyone nodded in agreement and Spike asked "So, who's gonna give us the tour?" The students all chattered about it and Twilight said after giggling a bit "Why don't we all go in? Together?" That sounds like a good plan to me. We all walked in and it looked very beautiful. Well, now I am restored to full power. I guess Twilight was right. Things would turn out fine. Now Equestria will be safe once more under my protection and my title is now considered useful again. Villains, you better watch out because if you dare try any funny business with me, you will pay. He he. Feels so good to have my power back.

AN: I understand this might be a bit of a random chapter since it seems to go all over the place, but I needed a lot of lafiller space since I didn't want this chapter to be extremely short and not even have to scroll whatsoever. So, I hope you understand. Also, I know that a lot of political stuff was exchanged between Zachary and Nightmare King, but it was just to fit the theme. Yeah, I actually came up with a name for the evil version of Zachary. I tried coming up with a good name, but I couldn't come up with anything good. But then, after doing some research, I was able to come up with Nightmare King. I think it fits just fine. Let me know what you think of it down in the reviews section if you want. Anyways, I do agree with most of what Nightmare King says about his political view of the United States, but I'll respect any opinion. Please do not get offended by this if you are on the opposite side. This is not meant to insult anyone whatsoever. It is solely for entertainment purposes only. This is meant to be taken with a grain of salt. It's all part of the central theme for this season, so hopefully you can understand that. Just wanted to clear that up before anyone starts throwing hate comments in the reviews section. Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter!

Next Chapter: The Sibling Supreme! When Twilight receives a letter from Shining Armor about the Sibling Supreme Crown, she is determined to get it since whoever wins will be Sibling Supreme forever. However, Zachary and Spike notice that there is a disagreement between Celestia and Luna about castle security, so both of them decide to hatch a plan with Luna. Will anyone be able to catch onto this plan, or will they be too sneaky and succeed with their plan?

Until then, my fellow readers
